I'm terrified of spiders. If anyone has any suggestions why, don't hold back.
They're getting bigger, too. There was one in the garage this morning ... he looked like he was working out or something, eight pronounced muscles on eight hairy legs. Looking up at me, daring me to do something about his presence, daring me to challenge his hegemony in MY GARAGE!
Normally, this would be vacuum time, but he was stuck in an awkward corner around the edge of the roller shutter. This one was smart - he had his outflanking manoeuvres practised .. he had plan-B boltholes prepared - this could be a drawn out operation.
Eventually I decided to squirt some lighter fuel and torch the bastard. The garage door took a bit of a hit. And the bushes outside. And the neighbour's bushes. And the little house thing they built for their daughter.
Now there's a whole thing. There was no need to involve the police. They have better things to do with their time. Go catch some criminals, you fools! But no. They have a conversation with me. I mention that I'm working on a script for a movie and they laugh. Apparently they get that when they don't get "actor".
"So in other words you're unemployed?"
Smarmy gits. I'll pay for the kid's house. I'm not a mean person. But this went way too far.

Ick. Spiders. I dont think there's anything worse in this world. Really...NOTHING needs that many legs. *shudder* I would have torched it too. Or sprayed it with an entire can of whatever was nearby....windex, spray paint, WD40...it all works if you use enough.
